Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday framed charges against two teachers of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College in a case filed over the suicide of ninth grade student Aritree Adhikari. The court also set October 27 for hearing of the trial.
Dhaka’s Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Rabiul Alam fixed the date on Wednesday.
The charges were framed against the then Viqarunnisa Principal Naznin Ferdous and the school’s Bailey Road branch head teacher Zinat Akhter.
Both the accused pleaded not guilty in the court before framing of the charges.
Earlier, a court accepted the charge-sheet against the two teachers, but exempted Aritree’s class teacher Hasna Hena from the charges.
Aritree Adhikari, a Class-IX student, reportedly committed suicide at their Shantinagar residence in Dhaka on December 3,2018 after allegedly being rebuked by teachers for using mobile phone during examination.
On December 4, Aritree’s father Dilip Adhikari filed a case with Dhaka’s Paltan Police Station accusing three teachers, including the principal of the school, of provoking the girl for committing suicide.
